    FRIDAY EVENING UPDATE

    No words can express my gratitude for all the support I have here. I'm also trying not to dwell on Supercrew's post "Is it too nice in here?" I guess my opinion on that can change based on circumstances. LOL. Of course based on my selfish psyche. I certainly don't need to be beaten up since I do enough of that myself.
    So today is day freaking 2 and I am starting disulfiram with the help of a friend very soon.
    I rather wish I didn't work with drinkers with the pub almost next door. Someone said to me the other day, really happy-"It's so nice to have you back out for a beer." DUMB ASS.
    No there's nothing "nice" about it. He had a couple and went home. I have several PLUS margaritas and somehow made it home.
    On a lighter note-on my trip "home" last weekend I ran into a guy I had met before. I remembered him and he didn't remember me, but we chatted for quite some time and he thought I was just great. (He could be insane) So he called people to get my # etc etc. We knew a lot of the same people since he is a doctor. Oh well...if he gets to know me his opinion would change. But I'm not going there.
    So a happy safe and sober weekend to all. I'm fighting again, fighting for my very life it seems. I intend to NOT do this alone.
    Thank you everyone

    Wonderful change in your outlook, and so glad it's day 2. You can do this. You have support here, and obiously from your friend. Wonderful about the doctor! Another reason to stay sober, right? If he takes you out and offers you a drink, just say 'I don't drink'. A medical person should just stop there. It's way too early to reveal the other issues. I'm SO glad you posted today.

      Ann,

      So glad things are better and you're getting tools in place and a plan. We're all at different stages but fighting the same battle, thanks for the update.
      2023 - focus, getting it done, and living the way it should be and being the person I need to be.

        Every day is a new stepping stone. People dont realize what they say sometimes. Ignore the ignorance. And this place works because we ALL need different types of encouragement. Some here will kick ya butt now, they are all mushy sweet. It depends on what ya need.

          Glad to see you back here, Ann. No one understands until they are in the same boat. I remember when a couple that used to party with us stopped (because the husband had a problem, and the wife didn't want him to be around AL anymore) hanging out with us. I felt so betrayed. I understand now, but we are no longer friends b/c I couldn't understand then.

          Day 2 is something to celebrate.:goodjob: As long as you're on the right path, you can breathe a little easier. I will be "too" nice if that's what you prefer.

            Ann I stayed away from that thread you refer to as I found it to be very judgmental. We must remember that people come from their own point of references. It has nothing to do with us personally. If I had let the opinions of others govern my decision to come back here with my struggles, well, RC would not be a household name.:H

            Canuck kidding aside, don't forget to review this list: 30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself - StumbleUpon and keep moving forward as you've aptly demonstrated you are capable of doing. :l

              Ann, I am so glad to see you back!!! Day 2 is great. I can't even remember how many times I was back on day 1--sometimes couldn't get to day 2, and at the end, didn't even try. I didn't think I could do it. Well--I have come along with lots of help, and I pray every day that I never go back. So give yourself a big pat on the back for coming back and continuing to fight!
              Good luck with the Antabuse. It seems to have halped many on here!
              Will be looking for your update tomorrow!

                    I knew you had lots of spunk left in you. You never know how much strength you have until you've hit the bottom, then you find that there's that little bit left... always is.

                    Great to have you back fighting the old fight.

                      Well done Ann.....well done

                      I think stumbling is just a small part of the recovery(save the few that can manage the first time)

                      With the right attitude and some strength, you WILL do it. Now you are two days closer to your goals...........

                        Great job Ann! It took me a very long time to embrace sobriety. We all have to take our own paths. Mine was filled with many highs and lows, from never wanting to stop, to promiosing I would and breaking that promise many times, to questioning whether I needed to, then finally acceptance that I would rather be sober. It's a journey.

                        As far as my post asking whether this forum was "too nice", I apologize if it upset anyone or came off as "judgemental", that wasn't the intention. Whether we beat ourselves up enough when we fail on a promise we make to ourselves or our family isn't really the issue. The question was whether we should feel accountable to others on the forum, as the one who is replying to a post.

                        I wanted to prove people wrong when they told me I had to use a specific method to get sober. It became very motivating for me to post my progress daily to show people my method was working. That is all, I wasn't making judgements on others on this forum who have problems sticking to their own plan, or who don't have a plan.

                        Good job on getting back on that horse Ann!
